Favourite Maria pictures

[Beautiful_Anastasia]

There is a thread like this on the Olga and Anastasia boards, so why not for Maria too? And Tatiana? My favourite pictures of Maria:

- With Olga, Anastasia and Anna Vyrubova

- 1910 formal portrait

- Maria Nikolaevna, triumphant in her cause

- Aboard the Standart, clearly beyond caring

- DON'T JUMP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

- Seemingly confuzzled

- In the middle, with the most cherubic face EVER!

- So sweet!

- A picture of solitary innocence

- Proud to be one of OTM

- Me and my kokoshnik!

- All alone again, on the road again!

- Being huggled by Olga

- With the girls...

- I wish I had a hammock like that

- This was caught on film! June 1915

- Looking very troubled with Tatiana and Anastasia

- Giving a dirty look to whoever or whatever is 'over there'

- Looking peaceful and beautiful.

Great ones! I always liked this one too .
I imagine she's trying the hat  out and seems proud to be wearing her hair up in a stylish hat. Marie  was a marvel: surreal in her beauty , both outwardly and within.

[Beautiful_Anastasia]

Indeed she was, she seems most happy in that picture! Which is your favourite of the ones I posted? I quite like the dirty look one.

It is definitely what you would call a 'bear hug' Leticia! Maria looks like she's having trouble breathing there!

Oh Emily, I love how you give a title for each one... as for the "dirty look" one i think she's just concentrating on drawing the flowers in front of her! Any more titles? 

[Beautiful_Anastasia]

Yes, I have more, just post some pics and I'll think of some to go with them! Lol, my imagination is very vivid, I often worry that the things I think or dream of will come alive because they seem so real and are so...vivid!

Which is your favourite of the ones I posted?

hard to pick just one! I love the one where Olga is hugging Marie and the one where Olga is hugging both Tatiana and Marie is priceless...but  I think the sailor Marie sitting on the rope, is an amazing picture . Such beauty is dazzling!!

I like the pic of her in her military uniform.  She seems really chuffed in it.

The June 1915 picture film link:

The part where they are taking the picture comes in at around 1:16, and, once the photo has been taken, Maria swoops over and snatches the baby that Olga is holding from her! I wish I knew what they were all saying! Tatiana is annoyed and starts waving her hand to Olga and pointing, Maria stares at her and starts yelling, Anastasia is confused (as is Alexei) and Olga just sits talking to the baby! Lol!

Some more favourite pics of mine:

- Why am I the only one snapped looking confuzzled???!!!

- Whatever happened to Anastasia's knee?

- Smiley smiley!

I bet Anastasia fell out of a tree and got her leg caught on a branch as she fell.

This is one of my favorite you tube vids of Romanov footage... you just aren't stopping Marie when there's a baby! lol!   but it's 1914 ;-)

[Beautiful_Anastasia]

Oh, right! On Livadia.org it says 1915. Thanks for the correction!
